Khayyin · 14 years ago

I think, I am. Insted of buying of Galaxy Nexus and a Kindle, I’d go for this. Besides, this toy’s goin’ to get ICS soon…

Khayyin · 14 years ago

Not getting it from any carrier though…

cris · 14 years ago

i talked to a rep from smart.. sabi nya under plan 2500 daw tong note and cash out ng 11k.. anggulo..

cris · 14 years ago

mga ser.. help nmn po.. san pong smart store pwede ma avail ung Gnote?? help pls..

jpL · 14 years ago

luckily i reserved a unit (yung sa promo ng Samsung at Smart) plan 2000, a customer service rep called me free daw yung 1 month subscription and i get a freebie daw worth 1,450 (dunno, must be a protective case of some sort)… its nice and all but i think the local smart centers doesn’t have any idea watsoever of what i’m talking about) btw, i’m from Legazpi City

jifaw · 14 years ago

Smart reps called me twice that I can get ung pinareserve ko na galaxy note last Nov 26 and starting Dec 1-15 daw (went last dec 2 to smart sm cebu), on my 2 visits sales rep told me that they have not receive any galaxy note as per checking their inventory. My application has been approved daw already but ung unit na lang ang kulang. Iâ€™ll just cancel my application if wala pa rin this saturday, I’ve been waiting since Nov 26 and I can see the galaxy note on display in almost all cp shops in ayala and sm cebu but its forever for smart to get the units to their centers in the country, sila pa naman ang official telecom carrier tsk tsk tsk!!! Too bad.

@jpl..yes me too.. sobrang shocked ako ng sinabe saakin ng Smart Rep that they don’t have that kind of postpaid offer tapos sabe ko “are you sure?” sabe nia “yes po wala pong product ang samsung na galaxy note…” and again i was shocked! for the 2nd time..samsung DAW mismo ang walang product nun ah sa pagkakaalam nia..she thinks that i might only making some stories…
and also ur right sana globe nalang ang carrier ng S-GN…

jpL · 14 years ago

@pay grabe aside from that, di pa nila alam ang mechanics, di sila aware na free 1 month na subscription, asarrr talaga :(

cris · 14 years ago

pay · 14 years ago

@cris: its free for plan 3000
and 7000PHP ang cashout for plan 2000.
just ask nalang ang smart branch you want ask them if they have this S-GN postpaid plan. i asked about this to the SMART Customer service via email and they replied me that not all place in the philippines offered this S-GN..

cris · 14 years ago

@pay – un din alm ko sir.. pay 7k for the smart 2000 plan.. BTW thnx tsong. i’m still interested on this..

jpL · 14 years ago

pumunta ako ng smart nawindang ako kasi nung tinawagan ako ng Smart Rep ala naman na mention na cash out, yun pala eh may cash out na P 7,000.00 for plan2000… hmmm, and yung isang babae sa Smart Wireless Center di alam ang Samsung galaxy note na model (bale mga more than 5mins. sya nag tanong tanong/ halungkay ng papers just to have an idea of what model i’m referring to, di ba dapat updated sila?)… gahhh!! Globe should have carried this instead!

No, I would wait for the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 and I hope it will be available soon http://www.yugatech.com/pclabs/samsung-galaxy-tab-7-7-p6800-announced/

gcormac · 14 years ago

yeabsolutely! :D

JRS · 14 years ago

YES!
Exactly what I need. Cross between the power of SII and the capabilities of a tablet.

wengweng2003 · 15 years ago

Konting pilit na lng at YES n din ako :-)

justin · 15 years ago

YES !!

me · 15 years ago

NO.
Dapat YES or NO lang sagut nyo, wala na mang WHY sa tanong si Sir Abe.

Noob · 15 years ago

Naka reserve ako but the problem is nasa davao city area ako sa mandaluyong pala ang event. Pano kaya to?

glen · 15 years ago

no and no way! A phone is small and pocketable. A tablet is big for easier reading. This is not in both criteria and for a ridiculous price. Dual core smartphone + 10 inch dual core tablet price = galaxy note price.

Another why not: Smartphones and tablets are already quad core and running ice cream sandwich.

poobear · 15 years ago

the galaxy note cost 34000..im not getting it coz tegra 3 is already coming out next year soo better wait for the HTC Edge.

maimai · 15 years ago

yes!

Ed · 15 years ago

Also available for Smart Plan 2000. ano kaya condition nila sa wifi hotspot?

Marco · 15 years ago

cebuboy · 15 years ago

NO! not another device from a company that discriminate consumers outside Metro Manila.

john · 15 years ago

Papapau · 15 years ago

“lalo na samsung.. worst manufacturer ever”
– Now where did that come from? Can’t find a topic like that in google.. In fact.. this links are spread all over the web..

“Samsung No 1 Manufacturer Overtaking Apple in Smartphone Sales”

Joseph · 15 years ago

I would get one but already have my playbook, just bought a netbook.. :| but if I had extra cash. I won’t hesitate.

KraM · 15 years ago

Sherwin · 15 years ago

NotAgain · 15 years ago

Mac · 15 years ago

Tmcr7 · 15 years ago

Yes!

Johny · 15 years ago

Just want to know if this initial online offer is for the first batch of release for advanced buyers, when do you think the release of this phone will be the general customers in various samsung retailers?

Jethro · 15 years ago

Hey Mr. Yuga will you please review the Galaxy S Wifi 5.0? I am kinda more interested in that one since I wan’t smartphone Capabilities and already have a phone that is not one, won’t the 5.0 be a very good compromise? rather than buying a smartphone?

Sani G · 15 years ago

I second the motion sir Yuga :D https://spn.sr/PGf

cxn · 15 years ago

No. 5″ size is too shy for being a tablet and too outrageous for being a phone.

Les · 15 years ago

Agree. Stupid jurassic size for a phone. :)

rene · 15 years ago

I want a bite of the ice cream sandwich first which is sweeter than the ginger bread…

javalite · 15 years ago

I’ve been waiting for this to reach the Philippines since the IFA in Germany, but I’ll just wait for the white 32GB version, perhaps in a month or two when it’s made available. ;^)
